title: Using chemical vapor deposition diamond finishing burs for conservative esthetic procedures.
abstract: The article demonstrates how chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond burs were used in a simple esthetic and cosmetic procedure to treat discolored anterior teeth. A patient who experienced discoloration after bleaching was treated with direct resin composite veneers. Excess restorative material close to the periodontium was removed with a CVD diamond bur attached to an ultrasonic handpiece. The results indicate that CVD diamond burs are appropriate for removing excess material at the gingival margins of resin composite restorations without damaging the periodontium.
